Hedgehogs

Hello Everyone,

Last week we had a great week learning all about Harvest. The children enjoyed harvesting the apples from the orchard and then making apple muffins with the apples. On Friday we took part in harvest assembly and children did fantastic at singing our Autumn song to all the parents and children. Thank you to everyone that bought some vegetables and fruit in for harvest. We had a great morning on Wednesday in reception as well. Please have look at the displays in both classrooms and corridor.

Our learning this week will be about hedgehogs. On Friday Helen found a baby hedgehog in pre-school garden. We showed the children and the children were interested in finding out more about hedgehogs. Some children had a go at drawing the baby hedgehog. We will also be continuing our apple threading and using the apples we harvested to make some stewed apple. On Tuesday we have got a hedgehog coming in to visit us. We will be doing some hedgehog crafts and a hedgehog number game.
On the computers this week, we will be creating our own autumn pictures using purple mash.
Alex will be playing lots of catching games with balls this week with the children.
